im doing about 45mph in 4th and shifting right around 3k am i alright?

 

LOL you are fine... But i dont get the question...
Are u asking when u should shift to save some gas? Or if it is ok at 45mph in 4th gear have 3000 rpms???

 

I short shift my car as much as possible unless I am trying to get somewhere quick (which is a very relative thing in an Avant with Tip and a stock setup.) I can squeeze 21 -22 mpg around town when in Tip mode and shifting as soon as the car will get into the next gear.

3000 rpm is a very safe shift speed though, and you won't hurt your car even if you wring it out to 4500 or 5000 rpm. These cars are pretty tough.

 

depending on what i'm doing sometimes i shift at 3k other times i wait till 5k. it really just depends on my mood really
